The property of the museum, with an area of over 1000m2, dates back to the Qajar period, and was originally owned by a man named Dr. Shaqaqi.
This museum is only the second of its type in the world, and contains a huge collection of Iranian stained-glass windows.
Stained-glass is an art which was imported to Iran from Eastern Europe, India, and China. It was soon imbued with a strong local flavor, however. Stained-glass windows displayed in this museum include paintings of human figures, birds and flowers, animals, geometrical figures, historical buildings, urban landscapes, nature, Quranic calligraphy, religious figures, courtiers and ordinary citizens.
